Support for library definitions (libd) [PAXCONSTRUCT-123]

[ops4j-issues]

Leen Toelen created PAXCONSTRUCT-123

The Springsource Enterprise Bundle repository has a concept of a library definition (http://www.springsource.com/repository/app/library).

In maven the spring library dependency would become.

<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>org.springframework.spring-library</artifactId>
<type>libd</type>
<version>2.5.6.SEC01</version>
</dependency>

Which points to http://repository.springsource.com/ivy/libraries/release/org.springframework/org.springframework.spring-library/2.5.6.SEC01/org.springframework.spring-library-2.5.6.SEC01.libd

Library-SymbolicName: org.springframework.spring
Library-Version: 2.5.6.SEC01
Library-Name: Spring Framework

org.springframework.aop;version="2.5.6.SEC01, 2.5.6.SEC01",

org.springframework.beans;version="2.5.6.SEC01, 2.5.6.SEC01",
org.springframework.context;version="2.5.6.SEC01, 2.5.6.SEC01",
org.springframework.context.support;version="2.5.6.SEC01, 2.5.6.SEC01",
org.springframework.core;version="2.5.6.SEC01, 2.5.6.SEC01",
org.springframework.jdbc;version="2.5.6.SEC01, 2.5.6.SEC01",
org.springframework.jms;version="2.5.6.SEC01, 2.5.6.SEC01",
org.springframework.orm;version="2.5.6.SEC01, 2.5.6.SEC01",
org.springframework.transaction;version="2.5.6.SEC01, 2.5.6.SEC01",
org.springframework.web;version="2.5.6.SEC01, 2.5.6.SEC01",
org.springframework.web.servlet;version="2.5.6.SEC01, 2.5.6.SEC01",
com.springsource.org.aopalliance;version="1.0.0, 1.0.0"

Pax construct skips these definitions as non-bundle artifacts, but it would be very convenient to re-use the maven dependencies in pax construct without a fallback to the corresponding profiles.

Initial support added in r16201 by adding transitive dependencies to the list of potential bundle artifacts.

The attached patch adds support for libd transient dependencies. Is this still needed after the initial support?

Stuart McCulloch commented

The patch to add knowledge of "libd" artifacts is no longer required with the switch to transitive dependencies.
